Doucoure posts heartfelt goodbye to Everton

Abdulayi Dukor says he “will forever blue” after confirming that he would leave Everton at the end of the season.

The Toffees team rejected the 12 -month option in the current decade of the 32 -year -old player and leaving the club after 165 games after the transfer of 20 million pounds from Watford in 2020.

Doucoure played a major role in surviving in the Premier League in Everton in 2023 with the only goal in winning the last day against Bournemouth.

I was published on X today: “Hello Evertonians, I just wanted to share this message with you that I will leave the football club at the end of the season. After five wonderful years, my time ended in Everton.

“Everton means a lot to me. It is clear that the past five years have been difficult. I will always remember my time as a dream to play with Everton Football Club. It is clear that I am sad to leave the club after a great five years, but I think it is time for a new chapter for me and the club, and I will be always grateful for what the club did for me.

“When the opportunity came, I was very happy to sign the club. It is clear that my best memory will be the goal I scored against Bournemouth to keep the club in the Premier League.

“I think this is something I will always be proud. It was a great moment for me and my family, and for the club too.

“I will miss the fans, I will miss the football club. I just wanted to know that I gave everything, every time in training and games.”

I will miss the place – Dukor

Dukor was clearly emotional after replacing him on Sunday 2-0 victory over Southampton in the final men’s match that will be played in Godison Park.

“I was always proud to wear the shirt. I was always proud to play in Goodison Park.

“I gave everything to win the largest possible number of games. I will miss the place and wish them all the best in the new stadium.

“Everton will always be part of my life now. I will forever be blue, and I will always support Everton and I hope they have a bright future.”

Dukor now Ind Road Poanin?

It is rumored that Mali International Doucoure is a newly promoted goal.

Everton leaves alongside Ashley Young, Samor Begovic and Joao Virginia. No decision has yet been announced in the future of Idrissa Gueye, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Michael Keane, who are also outside the contract in the summer.
